Major Hon. Henry Cecil Vane (19 September 1882 – 9 October 1917 [1]) was the son and heir apparent of Henry Vane, 9th Baron Barnard of Raby Castle. [1] He was wounded in World War I and died of those wounds shortly after, [2] leaving his younger brother Christopher as heir to the Raby estates. [3]
Vane was born on 19 September 1882 as the first son and heir apparent of Henry Vane, 9th Baron Barnard, at Raby Castle in County Durham. [4] Following family tradition, he attended Eton College [3] and went up to Christ Church at the University of Oxford [3] where he read for a BA, [1] taking the degree in 1900. [2]
On 25 August 1914, he married the Lady Enid Victoria Rachel Fane, [1] daughter of Anthony Fane, 13th Earl of Westmorland, and Sybil Fane, Countess of Westmorland. [3]
Upon leaving university he began his militia career in the 4th Battalion Durham Light Infantry, in which he held a captain's commission. [4] Three years after his graduation, in 1903, he became aide-de-camp to Oliver Russell, 2nd Baron Ampthill, [4] the two-time Governor of Madras, who was, like Vane's father, a member of The Royal Alpha Lodge. [4] In his capacity as aide-de-camp, he subsequently acted for James Thompson [1] and Sir Gabriel Stokes. [1] He left this position in 1907. [2]
In the service of the Yorkshire Hussars Yeomanry he gained the rank of Captain and then Major. [2]
Vane was a keen huntsman [2] and Master of the Foxhounds for the Zetland Hunt between 1909 [2] up until his premature death, and renowned as a "gallant officer" and gentleman. [2] He was a member of the Marlborough gentleman's club and the Yorkshire Club. [2]
He went into active service during World War I and was injured in that conflict in October 1917. He died in a hospital in France [2] as a result of those injuries on 9 October 1917. [3] On 31 December 1917 his will was probated by his wife. [5] As he left no issue, his younger brother Christopher inherited the title in December 1918. [1] His wife married again on 1 September 1922 to Major Herbert Broke Turnor, the son of Algernon Turnor, and had two daughters by him in 1924 and 1926. She died 9 September 1969. [6]
